The Chi family went home.
Once they got home, they began to discuss Meng Chenyi in hushed tones.
“That child is pitiful. Xiao Wu, you should bring him to our house to play more often,” Aunt Chi said.
The fifth brother, who had initially disapproved of Meng Chenyi taking advantage of his younger sister, immediately nodded upon hearing this: "I understand."
Only Old Man Chi smacked his lips and exclaimed, "The tea that Mr. Meng brought out is really delicious! It's even better than the tea I had at the village chief's house before!"
"Nonsense, the village chief only bought the cheapest tea bricks in town. How can they compare to the tea from Mr. Meng's family?" Aunt Chi rolled her eyes at him.
Then he thought, why not buy some good fabric and make a robe for Meng Kuo and Meng Chenyi each?
After all, the Meng family helped them so much.
"Grandpa, do you like to drink grass?" Chi Shuxing asked, bewildered.
Now that he's eight years old, he thinks about things more deeply.
Since Grandpa likes to eat grass, then he can go up the mountain and pick more grass to make a drink for Grandpa.
Old Man Chi laughed heartily: "Silly child, that's tea leaves, not some kind of herb. Grandpa likes to drink it, but it's too expensive."
Old Man Chi was just saying that.
Given his family's circumstances, how could he possibly bear to spend money on tea?
Chi Shuxing clenched his little fists, determined to go and pick tea leaves for his grandfather to drink.

The next day, the village chief told the villagers that the Chi family was going to sell their harvest to the village, and the villagers cheered immediately!
The Chi family is truly remarkable!
First, he dreamed of rain and it rained; now he's so benevolent!
The villagers were all extremely ashamed, and offered to help the Chi family with things like weeding and watering!
"I'll keep an eye on things when I have time, so no one will steal them!"
"Sigh, the Chi family is so righteous. Thinking about what we did before, we feel so ashamed!"
After this incident, the Chi family's reputation in the village reached an unprecedented level.
The villagers didn't just talk about it; they actually went to help with weeding and planting.
Speaking of which, there's a strange thing.
The only land in the whole village belonging to Li Guangmao and Chi Yongyuan is barren, and nothing grows on it!
The two families were in a panic, extremely frightened.
I think this is too weird!
The villagers, however, believed that Chi Tang was blessed with good fortune and that the Li Guangmao family and the Chi Yongyuan family had tried to harm the Chi Tang family, which was why they were being punished by God!
For a time, Chi Tang was rumored to be incredibly powerful.
However, in the village, no one would deliberately make things difficult for the Chi family anymore; everyone would rush to greet them.
They're living a pretty good life.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I picked some tea leaves for you. Go brew some and drink it!"
Chi Shuxing excitedly ran home, shouting loudly all the way.
Some villagers laughed at him:
"Xingxing, where can we find tea around here? Are you making your grandpa brew grass to drink?"
"Hahaha."
Chi Shuxing ignored it and ran home in a flash.
"...That's how I found it, and I finally found it!" Chi Shuxing touched his face, and two dark marks immediately appeared on his face.
Xingxing's appearance is like that of Chi Dashan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very square face. However, his figure is like that of his mother. He is not as big and burly as his father. Instead, he is tall and thin.
His skin was the typical wheat color common to the Chi family.
His big eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if waiting for praise and affirmation.
“Xingxing, this is grass, it can’t be used to make tea.” Old Man Chi leaned on his shovel, a kind smile on his dark face.
Regardless, he was happy that his grandson cared so much about him.
Chi Shuxing's disappointment was obvious as he took the basket and went to the front yard.
Soon after, Sister-in-law Chi's scolding voice rang out.
"...Look at you, your pants are all torn. What have you been doing? These pants are meant for your younger brothers. If you wear them torn, the family will have to spend money to make new ones. Can't you be a little more sensible?"
My family is poor.
That's how meticulous she is.
The most ordinary scolding sound brought tears to Chi Shuxing's eyes. After being scolded and finishing the chores his mother had given him, he ran out and cried.
Chi Tang, with her sharp eyes, spotted the basket of grass thrown in the yard and pointed at it, making noises.
An'an immediately took it: "Auntie, do you want to play with the grass?"
Playing with grass?
She has no interest in that!
Chi Tang gripped the grass, examining it closely, her brows furrowed tightly.
She felt like she recognized this plant, but she couldn't quite place it.
Even when she was taking a nap, she insisted on holding on to it, so Aunt Chi had no choice but to let her have her way.
In her sleep, a line of words appeared in Chi Tang's mind.
—Artemisia capillaris. It is sweet in nature and enters the heart and stomach meridians. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and relieving sore throat.
Chi Tang slapped her thigh!
Ah, it's Artemisia capillaris!
But how can I tell my family?
explain?
She's lucky if she can manage to utter one or two simple words, no matter how hard she tries.
Write?
She doesn't know traditional Chinese characters.
Gestures?
How do I gesture like that?
That's way beyond the scope of the curriculum!
If only we had a doctor in the family, he would definitely recognize Artemisia capillaris.
etc!
doctor?
There's a doctor in the family!
Xiao Chitang opened her eyes and wobbled from side to side like a little turtle for a long time before finally managing to turn over!
"oops!"
Xiao Chitang touched the beads of sweat on her forehead.
I feel that it must have been really tough for her to be such a big shot.
Catching her breath, Xiao Chitang looked around and decisively chose to wake up Little Fifth Brother.
Little Wu looked bewildered: "What's wrong? Did you pee or poop?"
